aHi hi..back again..gonna move on from the parents thingy..not is...:THE MOUTH-criticism.... anyway..go and check out the new memory verse...Ephesians 4:29.....

Okay..you see. the verse says that no corrupt talk should come out of your mouth...let's focus on that today..
You see..i'm not focusing on vulgar language right now..what i am trying to focus on is this-don't let words that can hurt or make people feel uncomfortable come out of your mouth....for example: GOSSIP..gossip hurts and breaks people's heart...it only demonstrates that you are one hell of a mean person...
it's okay to say something good about someone behind their backs(deh) Gossip also doesn't mean something like"i didn't really think that performance was good..i think it was bad"

Gossip has two main objectives.. TO HURT and for SELFISH REASONS....but don't say things like...."she is so mean".."she likes him..but doesn't there confess..so cowardly"if you really think those things than just keep it to yourself..don't say it out..i must confess that sometimes..you just gossip for no reason...i mean sometimes..some one really pisses you off..so you just like tell your close friend all the worst things you know about that somebody..but you must learn to control yourself..because gossip spreads..fast....

So pray to God to ask Him to help guard your mouth from hurting someone...through gossip especially....and if you see your friends gossiping..have the courage to move foward and ask them to stop nicely..not in a teacher scolding tone..but like :"aiya..don't say anymore la.." kinda tone....

Now ....my own experience:
When i was around 10..i used to gossip a lot..as in i wasn't like lieing about people..but i was trying to get my friends to see wat those people were mean at...I feel really sorry for that...i didn't make enemies..but i was talking with the objective not really to hurt but to show that I was right..and the other person was wrong-for selfish reasons...sighs..than after maturing a little more..i realised my mistakes..i have prayed to GOd to help me..then now....i have been transformed..i do my best not to gossip..AND IT WORKS!!!i have been gossiping at least 70%less..i hope you don't think i am boasting..wat i am trying to say is that..God can help you if you ask him to correct your mistakes...now i even as my frens to stop gossiping..sometimes i feel embarrased to say that...but i try to most of the time..that is one thing i must improve on..

So wat are you waiting for? start praying to ask God to help you to control your mouth!

+ AMEN
